What Hill?

As always, love having the opportunity to lead.

Today, kettlebells at The Snake Pit…

15 HIM looking to work hard came out for the latest edition of what I would like to characterize as a solid beatdown, most others would call stupidity.

Off we went.  Hold up – I broke the cardinal rule of disclaiming the disclaimer…and what was worse, we had an FNG.  Fear not, we have a astute bunch that quickly pounced on the oversight.  So I disclaimed the disclaimer and we were off – for reals this time.

For those who have not participated in a SoD beatdown, running with the bells in commonplace. We mosey’d to the top of the hill, next to the football stadium, to collect the 6 and begin our warm-ups.

A cocktail of warm-up exercises including SSHs, windmills, imperial walkers, planks, and mountain climbers were served up over several stations as we made our way down the hill to the main event.

At the bottom of the hill, we found ourselves at the base of different hill perfectly suited to run up and down (with the bell).  This was the main event…

Rotating through the exercises, the PAX were instructed to perform and 1 exercise at the bottom of the hill, run to the top, perform a different exercise, run back to the bottom, and then rinse and repeat with the next exercise.

Bottom:

(1)Plank Rows w/ merkin, (2) Curl into O/H Press, (3) O/H Press into Tricep Extension – all with the bell

Top:

(1) Box Jumps, (2) Step Ups, (3) Calf Raises – all with the bell

Once the PAX completed 3 sets 9 times up and down the hill, some additional upper body and leg work was completed (going up and down the hill), followed by a few “jail break” sprints back up the hill.

With several minutes left before COT, the PAX mosey’d their way back up the original hill to the reward of body destroyers until COT.

Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama, FNG Name:(Gilligan), Announcements, Prayers/Praises, Closing Prayer

As always, great to lead this group of HIM – everyone challenged themselves and put in some nice work this morning.
